MORESCO-1 and NORMECA Join the Nation in Observing the 47th National Disability Rights Week
July 17–23, 2025
Theme: “Innovation for Inclusion: Building Inclusive Communities Together”

MORESCO-1 and the Northern Mindanao Electric Cooperatives Association (NORMECA) proudly join the rest of the nation in celebrating the 47th National Disability Rights Week, held every July 17–23. This year’s theme, “Innovation for Inclusion: Building Inclusive Communities Together,” underscores the essential role of innovation in enabling persons with disabilities (PWDs) to live with dignity, autonomy, and full participation in society.

Anchored on Proclamation No. 597 issued by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on June 13, 2024, this national observance highlights the collective responsibility of institutions—public and private alike—to ensure that all individuals, regardless of ability, can access opportunities and essential services.

As a vital player in the electric power industry, MORESCO-1 affirms its commitment to equitable and inclusive energy services. From barrier-free customer service centers and accessible billing options to proactive engagement of PWD stakeholders in community energy programs, we believe that electricity empowers best when it reaches everyone.

Energy fuels independence. For persons with disabilities, reliable and accessible power means access to assistive technologies, livelihood tools, mobility support, and more. Through cooperative innovation and inclusive service delivery, we stand by the call to energize not just homes, but human potential—regardless of physical, sensory, or cognitive limitations.

Together with NORMECA and our partner electric cooperatives in Northern Mindanao, we commit to building inclusive, dignified, and empowered communities for all.

Let us continue lighting the way forward—for inclusion, for rights, and for every Filipino.

July 15, 2025 is World Youth Skills Day

admin

Theme: Youth empowerment through AI and digital skills

In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared 15 July as World Youth Skills Day, to celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship.

15 July 2025 marks the 10th anniversary since World Youth Skills Day (WYSD). This year’s theme focuses on Youth empowerment through AI and digital skills.

As the Fourth Industrial Revolution reshapes economies through Artificial Intelligence (AI), Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) must evolve to equip youth with future-ready skills. AI is transforming how we live, learn and work — but it also poses serious risks if not implemented equitably.

On World Youth Skills Day, let us come together to recognize the power of young people as drivers of change—and commit to equipping them with AI and digital skills to tackle today’s challenges and shape a more peaceful, inclusive, and sustainable future.

MORESCO-1 Delegates Participate in DOE Workshop on IRR for Microgrid Systems Act, LTER Deliberation

admin

Davao City — July 9-10, 2025 — In a steadfast commitment to achieving 100% electrification in its coverage areas, MORESCO-1 sent a three-person delegation to the Department of Energy (DOE)-led workshop and deliberation on the Local Total Electrification Roadmap (LTER) and the recently amended Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Microgrid Systems Act (Republic Act 11646), held at the Park Inn by Radisson, Davao City.

Representing MORESCO-1 were Raff Shun Rhay M. Laput, Planning and Design Section Head; Evan Lee S. Abregana, OSA Customer Welfare Officer; and Algene M. Andam, LSA Customer Welfare Officer. The delegation participated in the technical deliberations and revisions of MORESCO-1’s LTER for the period 2025–2028, aligning it with the National Total Electrification Roadmap (NTER).

The updated roadmap aims to meet the national government’s mandate of achieving total electrification by 2028, ensuring that every sitio and household—especially in underserved and off-grid areas—has access to reliable electricity.

During the two-day workshop, the DOE formally presented Department Circular No. DC2025-04-0007, which outlines the revised IRR of the Microgrid Systems Act. The amendment streamlines policies and procedures to accelerate deployment of microgrid systems, especially in missionary and last-mile areas.

MORESCO-1’s earlier submission of its LTER in March 2025 underwent evaluation by Engr. Ryan del Mundo of the Total Electrification Administration and Management Division (TEAMD) of the DOE. A one-on-one deliberation followed, where key recommendations and technical comments were discussed, prompting the electric cooperative to revise and enhance its roadmap to ensure conformity with national strategies and electrification targets.

Through this engagement, MORESCO-1 reaffirms its commitment to the government’s energy access for all agenda and continues to be a proactive partner in bringing sustainable power to the farthest reaches of Misamis Oriental.
